+apib is a tool that makes it easy to test API servers. It is supported
+on Unix systems that include the Apache Portable Runtime and OpenSSL.
+
+apib has most of the features of Apache Bench (ab), but is also intended
+to be a more modern replacement. In particular, it supports:
+
+ - Proper HTTP 1.1 support including keep-alives and chunked encoding
+ - Ability to spawn multiple I/O threads to take advantage of multiple
+ CPU cores
+ - Non-blocking I/O for high concurrency
+ - Support for POST and PUT of large objects
+ - Support for OAuth 1.0 signatures
+ - Ability to output results to a file so they may be automated
+ - Remote CPU monitoring
